When life sends you Lemons, just bake a cake

LT, a paint coop is a charity that take left over pots of paint. They then give it to people who are given a council house or for a small fee anyone else. If you google them for your area the nearest will come up.

thank you all for your kind words.

Uni i'll definitely look up the paint co op as we've probably got some cans that they could have from us.

been looking up council tax bands for the new house and it's only one band higher which seems rediculous since we're going from a one bed flat to 3 bed house, but i shalln't be arguing, with a back of a fag packet calculation i'd say the most we're likely to incur when we do move is an extra £40 given that we'll have paid for the year where we currently are by that stage, which i can live with. Now planned a third appointment for friday - solicitors to prove ID whilst we're both off.

can't quite beleive this time last year we had snow - today we have a beautiful sunny autumnal day - madness.

another job jobbed...
took leccy reading to see how we stand and by fluke we're due a bill so they wanted a reading anyway. we should be in credit which is a good way to start the cold winter quarter. also we'll have to clear the account when we move anyway. I'll make sure we also use up the gas cylinder before we move to save leccy and to that it's easier to transport.

just removed another face from my time line, can't understand how i forgot to do that when i updated my signature. duh!

oooh only three smilies left! Are these going to have to wait a bit so that removals etc can be paid for?

Lemon_Tree

they may yet have to go a lot longer than that Dragon, depends on the real state of the bathroom when we do move, and the other costs which we incur through the move. I'm sure they won't mind though. At the moment the budget is borderline that i may have to dip into savings to pay for the move but as long as we're not silly we should be ok.
